What filler did you use to fill gaps? I'm fitting new skirting boards, and sure i will get a few gaps because of the wall differences. Thanks.
You need to try Zinsser BIN primer. It works as a stain block too. Never had knots come through after I started using it.
Hi Stuart, You can get white knotting, if you're using a light coloured paint! great videos, thanks ????????
Thanks for the video – looks good. Hoped that kept the list 'Boss-free".
Nice Stuart! That frame looks pretty smart! To avoid the whole sutiation of those seems lining up you could have gone with one slightly wider board to use as the one on the sides?
Looks great! Great idea. Will give it a go!
Polyurethane paint is a pretty good sealer, and cheap.
Very simple, well thought out and well explained. Thx for posting
Great effect for framing the print – staining the frame black (Indian ink is the cheapest!) would look pretty good.
good video well done !
Ive not had any luck with that knotting solution either Stu
When I'm fitting this type of thing, or pretty much anything with multiple fixings I always mark the first fixing, drill plug and screw it in and then level and mark the other fixing points. If I don't and just mark all the fixing points at the start , for some reason one or more of them won't be in the right place when I come to fix it. Also it's easier to do it that way if the item is a bit heavy.
If you want good knotting Stuart, mix your own using methylated spirit and shellack and you can get a proper knotting bottle with a built in brush from a proper paint merchant. Thanks for the video Stuart.????????
Zinsser BIN is a miracle paint primer when it comes to knots / stains / colour blocking etc. I endorse it with the only reservation being it is shellac based with a(n alcohol?) solvent. It needs ventilation.
I'm a little surprised you didn't use a spacer on a couple of sides to confirm the gap around the print. Otherwise a nice simple job, we'll done.
Great idea for a 'simple' yet very effective frame Stuart and one which I may well revisit in the future. Thanks.
Fabulous tips and idea's
Hope those knots get hidden with the next coat.
